 Israeli occupation forces have set the date of the 18th of September, 2008 as the final date for taking the necessary steps to get a permit for the afore-mentioned structures. As a result of a series of waves of demolition orders against Palestinian structures in Area C north of the Jordan Valley villages, these villages are currently facing a serious demographic threat that might affects its very existence. Young married couples are the most vulnerable as they won’t find any place to build their new homes since they would be placed under the threat of demolishing. The villages of Wadi Al Malih and Al Aqaba are exceptionally vulnerable as 28 of their 46 houses were issued demolition orders under the pretext of their location in Area C. This fact has pushed a number of families to leave these villages located east of Tubas governorate. Moreover, the threat of demolition against the Bedouins of Al Farisiya has led to the displacement of at least 15 families so far.

It is worth pointing out that Israeli occupation authorities do not recognize some Bedouin communities east of Al Tayseer checkpoint which led to the lack of communication between these communities and the city of Tubas from which they have originated. Israeli soldiers manning Al Tayaseer checkpoint allow only those carrying Jordan Valley IDs to pass through the checkpoint. As such, Bedouins are forced to use Al Hamra checkpoint south of Tubas governorate, into Al Farea’a, to Tammun and then to the city of Tubas. The trip is exhaustive both financially and physically.
